[dba-Tech] Empty folders

Recursion, as applied to programming, is where a function calls itself.

As applied to directories/files, you would call a function that starts at
the root of a drive.  Something like (air pseudo-code):

GetDirInfo "c:\"

'no error checking in this code
public sub GetDirInfo(byval strPath as string)
dim strFile as string

   strFile=dir$(strpath)
   do while len(strFile)>0
      if (strfile is a directory) then
         'call to self is here
         GetDirInfo strFile	
         else
           'do something with file name
         end if
      loop
   
end sub

It's a little bit out of my league - I just hack vba in Excel...

I hate it when you make me look words up... 

Hmmn, didn't help... "Recursive: An expression, such as a polynomial, each
term of which is determined by application of a formula to preceding terms."
Polynomial? eep, maths!

Hi all, does anyone know of a way to find empty folders in win2k?
 
I'm re-ripping a lot of my cd collection, and some of the tracks/albums are
being named more correctly as the online catalogs are more up to date than
before, which is leaving me with a lot of empty folders. I have deleted the
ones in the main tree, but as for going through all the artists folders and
deleting the empty album names, that's going to be a pain... I was thinking
that there has to be an easier way to do it than just looking...
 
 
Jon
